Ellen Wagner announced today, at the Adobe eLearning Summit, that the
Authorware Web Player will be updated to ensure that the known bugs with
IE7/Vista will be addressed.

This is great news as it extends the life of Authorware web-based content
for an estimated 2 years, removing at least some of the urgency for those
considering migrating/converting existing Authorware content to new tools.

Obviously there is no guarantee that there will be no Windows or IE updates
in the short or long term that introduce further issues with the Authorware
Web Player, so we can assume that Adobe will assess the need for web player
changes should such an update transpire.

The tentative comment from Adobe at this stage is that anything that causes
further playback issues with the Authorware Web Player would also cause
issues with the many other plugins on the market, so the ball might just be
in Microsoft's court ... but that is not a promise, more of a postulation
:-)

We've been talking to Adobe about this for a while - we being Authorware
developers everywhere, corporate clients and of course the Community Experts
that represent Authorware. Adobe has listened and Ellen Wagner has taken on
the mantle of championing the cause of eLearning for all of us who are in
that field.

Thanks Ellen.

Thanks Adobe.

Steve
